Lentil Soup


I've always heard of lentil soup but never eaten any and certainly never made any until today. It was easy to do: I just used a pound of lentils and covered them with water and heated them until they were boiling hard, then drained and washed them and put them back in the pot with a can of diced tomatoes, some chopped onion, garlic powder, and some veggie stock and water. I let them cook for about 30-40 minutes then added some diced carrots and frozen spinach. It simmered for about another 30-40 minutes til everything was tender. It was quite good - a nice hearty soup for a cold day.
